Tree Surgeons Visit Our Forest School

26/07/2020

For three days last week tree surgeons visited our Forest School to undertake some work we had identified in our risk assessment. Our children were fascinated as they watched the workers climb trees and branches fall. 

The star attraction was a "cherry picker". Undeterred by the noise of the chainsaws our children watched from a safe distance and then drew pictures of the tree surgeons and the "cherry picker" recognising the letters and numbers written on its sides. We talked about why some of the branches and trees had to be removed and why it was important to look after nature. We have deliberately not cut the identified trees down to ground level. But have left them standing safely three or four metres high, so that they can provied homes for insects and birds. When the workers had finished they showed our children branches and hollow stumps where there were lots of insects hiding

The benefits of outdoor learning

We passionately believe that children experience a huge range of benefits when they are playing and learning outside in natural environments. The natural world provides an infinite amount more learning resources and opportunities that can ever be provided in a single room or playground. This why we have purchased a completely secure and private nine acre field in Denholme, which it is in the process of developing into our own forest school facility, where children can be taken to enjoy playing and learning all day in a totally natural environment. We are not alone in believing this as a large number of studies show that children benefit from learning outdoors in many ways.
